Brakes on Breaks

Ab ek chota sa break(Hindi)....And now lets take a short break(English)

Taking off from the Reliance Mobile ad, you not only get free advice in India on any topic but also get to hear it with a lot of breaks.

...aur aage is break ke baadh...

Be it
News channels which bring you every news broken as "breaking news"
Cricket matches with Ad "breaks" when a bowler gets a crucial breakthrough
Workplaces with coffee "breaks" that put brakes on any productive work

Talking of breaks, workplace breaks are proving to be productive. Japanese have invented the art of taking productive breaks-desk naps(Source: Japan Today, Washington Post, CBS News).

With the risk of getting inspiration from Japanese productivity and applying it to the Indian workplace setting, the question is can we try this in Indian workplaces?

How about going to work with sleeping bags and desk pillows?

Let us take a snoring break :-)
